Canaries Holidays

With year-round sun, delicious cuisine and well over 500 beaches, it’s no surprise that British holidaymakers continue to flock to the Canary Islands. A flight time of just over 4 hours and great-value hotels also contribute to making the Islands an ever-popular choice for couples.

Beaches
With over 500 beaches dotted around the Canary Islands, it’s not hard to see why people continue to return to their shores. From beaches covered in white sand, such as Costa Calma in Fuerteventura to the volcanic sands at Los Patos beach in Tenerife, there really is a whole palette of beaches to choose from.

Culture
Locals are known for being admirably friendly – especially with tourists - and are usually full of brilliant tips on where to go and what to do so you’ll be kept completely in-the-know. Gran Canaria Pride takes place twice a year with a summer and a winter event while an annual carnival is held in February in the lead up to Ash Wednesday with parades, costumes and live music.

Food & Drink
Canarian cuisine is fresh, simple and full of flavour. For example, you must try mojos, a variety of sauces served with potatoes, meat or fish or enjoy a glass of the sweet Malmsey wine, produced in the La Geria area of Lanzarote.

Nightlife
You’ll find lively nightlife in each of the Canary Islands, although some resorts are more well-known for their party offerings than others. Playa de las Americas in Tenerife, for example, is often referred to as the party haven of the Canaries. You’ll also find chilled-out restaurants and beachfront cocktail bars in most resorts – the perfect way to end a great day in the sun.
